in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone - My name is Carrie. I made a goal for 2012 to lose 50 pounds and while this goal was in my head I found this site. I have been asking everyone I know to join this site and become my weight loss friend, however no one has done so yet. Since you can not push friends into losing weight I've decided to ask for your support. I really want to lose weight for a number of reason.

1. Get off medication
2. Joints to feel better
3. Have more energy
4. Look and feel better (my own opinion)

If anyone is looking for weight loss friends or someone to give encouragement, I would like to be that person.

Thanks for your help everyone!
Carrie

    Hi Carrie,

    Welcome, i am new too and hoping to lose 30 lbs. Originally from South Africa i have been in England for 6 yrs and have eaten my way up 4 sizes in the first 3 yrs !! lack of exercise and pure greediness really!! Love this site and would love to make loads of new friends with the same goals. I have back problems and losing weight will help that a lot, as well as the walking (and hopefully running ..in the future)

    Lets get thin ladies!! (and gents !! )

    Best of luck and here's wishing our 2012 see's us in a whole new wardrobe of smaller clothes!

    You can do this. Almost all of my support has been here at this site, though I do know a couple of my MFP friends in real life too. Be sure to log in every day, track your food, get your exercise, and you'll have it in the bag. :)

    I'm on my way to losing lots of weight
    I've been taken off 4 of my 8 daily meds (soon to be 5)
    I've started running for the first time at age 57
    I feel and yes, look great (I say in all modesty)
    If I can do this, anybody can
    Feel free to add me, and welcome along on this awesome ride!

    Hello! I'm sure that you'll find people to chat to and support you need on here. i joined yesterday and am still finding my feet but the thing I have learnt is that people on this site are extremely friendly and supportive of one another. Good luck with your weight loss. Feel free to add me if you like.
